Provenance: Lyn Cecil. Ms. Cecil recalls: ’I was first introduced to Bill Gibb designs around ‘77 by my friend Maria Moult, who was married to Ted Moult, farmer and TV celebrity. Bill’s collections were available in Browns I think, Harrods definitely and then in his own boutique in Bond Street. He was there one day with his friend, the designer John Bates, and we all got chatting... I loved Bill Gibb’s designs...they were avant-garde and unlike other designers. Flamboyant is probably the word!...[The] late 70s-80s... for me it was an era of Ferraris, Royal Film Performances, property developers, the City exploding - in both senses of the word with the IRA and influx of international banks. A time to frequent Michelin-starred restaurants, the bars at the 5-star hotels, Annabel’s - and to enjoy villas, yachts and a Porsche in Cap Ferrat. All of us "nouveaux" grabbing the best that life and London could offer!’
